Check Chains (Extra Equipment) for Lift-Models
(Figure Asm-0046)
Check Chains are available for attachment to front
of Mower as an accessory. Check chains are used
to control cutting height and especially allow Mower
to be lowered to the same preset cutting height
effortlessly.
Install lower end of check chain (4) to hitch ears (6)
through lower holes (7) using bolts, nuts and
lockwashers(8). Tighten securely.
Install chain lugs (3) on either side of tractor top link
mounting (5) using bolt or pin of required diameter
and length. CAT I kit requires a 3/4" diameter bolt.
CAT II kit requires a 1" diameter bolt. Install top end
of check chains in brackets (3).
Cutting height is then set by placing proper chain
link in keyhole slot. Cutting height is easily
adjustable by hooking chain higher or lower in the
keyholes in chain lug (3).
For additional safety in transport,
raise mower as high as possible without having driveline hit deck and shorten check chains
as much as possible to prevent inadvertent falling in transport.
